A few days ago I asked you to email me your questions about beginning your programming
career. Some of you between 30 and 40 years old wanted to know if their age will stop them from getting hired by employers.

you are over 30 years.

hi

If you’re over 40 and you’re changing careers or looking for work, you’re probably concerned about how age discrimination affects your career.
In conversations with older workers, the common question I’m hearing is “how will age based discrimination affect my chances of keeping a job or getting hired or transitioning to a new career?”
Some say that age is the determining factor in not getting a job and that’s even when one demonstrates the required skills!
